At what temperature does food spoil in the refrigerator?

Chef's answer
40 degreesFood starts to spoil when the temperature rises above 40 degrees. After food warms to that temperature, you have just two hours in which you can either return it to cold conditions or cook it. In the fridge, produce will survive most power failures, but dairy products should be discarded if they smell or taste sour.31 Jul 1991.
